It will continue to get used, but what it is used for has changed drastically.
I used to get regular emails from friends and family. I can't remember the last time that happened.
Currently, email is almost solely a unique identifier for business communication.
Even my work email is almost entirely automated notices telling me stuff happened on another platform used for communication.
And spam and scams.

LLMs are really good at converting a list of words into a shorter list of words.

Whether that's truly a "summary" is an exercise for the reader of both lists of words.

Yes. Look up antioxidants.

The cited stats are Windows machines only. "What percent of Windows users are on 11?"

Which people aren't worth saving?

The question of "mastery" is one that requires perspective.
I'm over 50 and learned data structures and memory management but barely touched assembly in college. 10 years ago, I was told that understanding the difference between "pass by reference" and "pass by value" was rare.
The point is that "mastery" is having the skills to be productive with the best tools of the time, and that changes. Learning how to get the best results out of AI but not understanding how its output works is just a different layer of abstraction from using console.log but not having any idea how that makes different pixels appear on the screen.
I haven't worked with AI coders yet, but I have no doubt it is another technology I'll work with before my career is done; another thing I'll have to "master."

It doesn't think you're gay enough?
Have you reported this obvious bug?

The date seems significant because it implies that chat-gpt does a pretty good job finding an existing answer but a pretty poor job at creating a novel answer.

I am at once feeling more secure in my job and more worried about the influx of chat-gpt-kiddies.

Of course, my job is only secure if my managers understand this. Pardon me, I have to go get chat-gpt to write an email for me.

It does alright copying code it has seen before, but without attribution. That's a pretty good reason to consider anything an LLM generates to be unoriginal and tainted.

This line was the biggest unsupported assertion in the article (and there were several).
My experience has been that as people work to "simplify" coding, coders are tasked with handling increasingly complex tasks. Overall, my job has maintained its complexity.
(And yes, this is anecdotal and not supported, but I'm writing a slashdot comment not an article for NYT.)

The insurance company wouldn't cancel the policy. They'd keep collecting premiums and deny any claims.

These events ALL happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Even the nearest galaxies are tens of thousands of light years away. Although we only started receiving these Historical Documents in the 1970s, all of the beings in them are long dead. All of the aliens in the movies (like Han Solo) are played by human actors in theme parks here on Earth. Have your kids not figured it out? They know it's not the real Darth Vader but an enthusiastic and talented cosplayer. That's OK!

I suspect the Historical Documents have arrived out of order due to their hyperdrives allowing them to broadcast "later" events from locations within their galaxy that are dozens of lightyears nearer to us.

It is possible that the Skywalkers are not "aliens" in that humans arrived here by hyperdrive tens of thousands of years ago and it is only now that the broadcast has caught up with their descendants. Otherwise, it's one helluvan example of convergent evolution.

Did you know C-3PO's full name was Cylon-3 Prototype One? Maybe everyone shouldn't have mocked him so mercilessly...

This reads like FUD. Commercial software providers can and do change the terms of their licenses, too. With open source, the worst that can happen is they go closed and you won't get new features or updates until you find a good fork. If Oracle changes their terms on you, good luck.

Seconded. I love keybase. The problem is that it is hard to get anyone else to manage their own private keys.
